Cheesy Potatoes With Corn Flakes

CHEESY POTATOES WITH CORN FLAKES

The recipe Olivia and I are sharing this week is somewhat of a classic she found on www.food.com.
You can see it pictured below on the right side of the plate.  It is a time honored recipe that brings people back for more.  If you are looking for something different to do for the Easter holiday rather than the same old mashed potatoes, this might be an excellent choice.  It is a great combination of both creamy and crunchy.  It also keeps well as a leftover.

This recipe would be excellent if you are planning a brunch too.  The sour cream and chicken soup give it somewhat of a savory tang and the corn flakes...well who doesn't like crunch breakfast cereal as a topping? If you have never tried this recipe, now is the time.  If you have made it but not for a while, now is the time to revisit it.
